Streets of London – Liam Clancy

Lyrics

Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers
With his worn out shoes?

In his eyes, you see no pride
Hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday’s paper
Telling yesterday’s news

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair
And her clothes in rags?

She’s no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home
In two carrier bags

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven
Same old man
Sitting there on his own

Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea cup
Each tea lasts an hour
And he wanders home alone

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely?
Don’t say for you that the sun don’t shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
Show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman’s mission
Memory fading with
The medal ribbons that he wears?

In our winter city
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn’t care

So, how can you tell me you’re lonely
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind

Buffy Sainte-Marie – I’m Gonna Be A Country Girl Again

Song by Buffy Sainte-Marie

The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars
I’ve said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars
The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

I spent some time in study, oh, I’ve taken my degrees
And memorized my formula, my A’s and B’s and C’s
But what I know came long ago and not from such as these
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

I’ve wandered in the hearts of men looking for the sign
But here I might learn happiness, I might learn peace of mind
The one who taught my lesson was the soft wind through the pines
I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Oh yes, I’m gonna be a country girl again
With an old brown dog and a big front porch and rabbits in the pen
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don’t amount to an acre green
And I’m gonna be a country girl again

Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constant in the darkness

Lyrics

Just before our love got lost you said
“I am as constant as a northern star”
And I said, “Constantly in the darkness
Where’s that at?
If you want me I’ll be in the bar”

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet

Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I’m frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid

I remember that time you told me
You said, “Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I’d be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, “Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed”

Oh, but you are in my blood
You’re my holy wine
You’re so bitter
Bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I’d be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Beyoncé – All Night #sweetlove

Beyoncé – All Night

All Night

Beyoncé

Found the truth beneath your lies
And true love never has to hide
(True love never has to hide)
I’ll trade your broken wings for mine
(Trade your broken wings for mine)
I’ve seen your scars and kissed your crime
(Seen your scars and kissed your crime)

So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I’m gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya

All night long
Love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain’t no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long

Our love was stronger than your pride
Beyond your darkness, I’m your light, oh
If you get deep, you touch my mind
(If you get deep, you touch my mind)
Baptize your tears and dry your eyes
(Baptize your tears and dry your eyes)

So many people I know that they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I’m gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya

All night long
Love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain’t no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long

They say true love’s the greatest weapon
To win the war caused by pain (pain)
But every diamond has imperfections
But my love’s too pure to watch it chip away (chip a-, chip a-, chip away)
Boy, nothing real can be threatened
True love breathes salvation back into me
With every tear came redemption
And my torturer became my remedy

So many people I know that they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I’m gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya

All night long
Love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain’t no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long

How I missed you, my love
